Organizers say the workshop will provide public
organizations, such as museums and historical groups, with resources and
support to develop and improve their program offerings for disabled
students and adults in accordance with and beyond the requirements of the
Americans with Disabilities Act.

The 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. workshop will feature
keynote speaker Krista Flores from the Smithsonian Institute Accessibility
Program; speaker Karen Wade from the Homestead Museum in Los Angeles County,
Calif.; Dr. Lisa Pruitt from MTSU; and a panel of other experts. Participants
also will be able to choose two afternoon breakout sessions to discuss specific
techniques and strategies for certain disabilities.

Registration is $20 per person and includes
lunch.

Event co-sponsors also include the Association of
Graduate Students in History, Tennessee Association of Museums and the
Inter-Museum Council of Nashville.
